Otoplasty: Ear Correction Surgery in Turkey
Otoplasty, or ear pinning surgery, reshapes protruding or asymmetric ears to create a more balanced appearance. Turkey offers this procedure for both adults and children with experienced surgeons and affordable pricing.
Who Benefits from Otoplasty?
- Adults and children (over age 5) with prominent ears
- People with asymmetric ears
- Those with lop ear, cupped ear, or shell ear deformities
- Individuals with large or stretched earlobes
The Procedure
Otoplasty typically takes 1-2 hours and can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear, reshapes the cartilage, and uses permanent sutures to hold the new position. The incision is hidden behind the ear, leaving no visible scars.
Recovery
A headband is worn for 1-2 weeks to protect the ears during healing. Most patients return to work within 5-7 days. Final results are immediate and permanent. Otoplasty in Turkey costs £1,000-£2,000, compared to £2,500-£5,000 in the UK.
